My last ex, I'll call her Crazy Cat Lady, stands by Old Mother Hubbard cat food.

We had to go to a specialty store for our cats because one of them has a grain and dye allergy. EVERYTHING at basic grocery stores or pet stores has grains or starches or dyes, it was obnoxious.

Our vet recommended either:

Weruva
Evo
Nature's Variety Instict

and of those our cats like Weruva the best. Unfortunately it is also the most expensive ><

Apparently Blue Buffalo is also really good, the ladies at the adoption agency love that, and it is sold at most pet stores.

Don't think I've ever seen that brand before.

Well now I am questioning whether I got the name right... lol

EDIT: Apparently the brand is called "Wellness" and it's made by Old Mother Hubbard.

Buy meat and give it to the cat.
I feed my cat lamb and beef, perfectly healthy.
Complement sometimes with other stuff for completion sake.
It was a cat i rescued from the streets who was almost dead from sickness, she has 4 sisters who are still in the streets (whom i feed normal cat food) the difference is quite bit, she has huge hair while they dont :P

Never feed pork though.

ofc, this is only if you have money to spare, meat is expensive.

I use Science Diet. I don't have any basis for it being that over other brands, but my cat seems to love it, and when I told the vet what I was using, she just nodded sagely as if I'd chosen wisely.

While a high protein diet is good for their coats, it causes kidney problems later on. Cats with a balanced "cat food" diet tend to live longer due to longevity of kidney function.

Mhm, thus i balance it with other things :P
Also kidney problems are caused by type of meat, lamb is the least harsh on kidneys, pork is horrid (thus the no no)

Do they sell that Blue stuff there? If so, I would say that.

Not at my walmart or local grocery store. I haven't check the pet store yet though. Last time I was at the pet store.. It was literally nothing but dog stuff.

IF you want to go the dry food route, Royal Canin is what our vet recommended. Just don't switch from one to the other abruptly, or you might cause the cat to get indigestion (dry food to wet) or dehydrated (wet food to dry).

I give them a can of wet food in the morning. Other than that they mainly eat dry food.

we give ours taste of the wild & blue buffalo.

Science Diet is not good... not as good as evo or wellness or blue mountain or merrick. It has crap ingredients in it, a lot of vets sell it though or work with the company, despite the fact the ingredients aren't good.

what about meox mix?

im a crazy cat lady.

read the ingredients. anything that isnt by-product meal but rather whole meat- chicken/fish. I believe for walmart/grocery stores it will be 'purina all natural' or 'purina one'

personally? i do Blue Buffalo but that requires petco, etc.

Honestly, you will end up with 1000 different forms of food for your cat if you ask it here. Go to a vet or pick one yourself and look it up weither that one is healthy or not. Not saying any of the cat food posted isn't healthy, but each has his own view on healthy food.
